Hope, Politics, and Human Dignity

In the age of pro-abortion Catholics in public life, confused Catholics in private life, silent bishops, and a government apparently hell-bent on avoiding recognition of the personhood of the preborn child, it is easy to become overwhelmed and even downtrodden.

A number of states across the country are using “lame duck” sessions of their legislatures to protect preborn children. At the same time, the Biden/Harris team is preparing for their hoped-for reign of death.

This week, American Life League was the only pro-life organization to speak out against US bishops who called on President Trump to save federal criminals over preborn babies. Judie Brown also exposed the abortion-driven motives of president-elect Biden with his latest cabinet nomination.

This month of December is filled with many Catholic feast days and religious celebration. Today we bring you the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a prayer you can say on her feast day and throughout the month.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
